It looks like you're comparing 2 control names, likely in the lookup.
If you want to compare the values from these controls, you'll have to reference them more specifically.
For example, if it's text boxes, add .Text to the end of the control names, like so:
IfError(LookUp(DataTable1,'BMI Range_Column2'.Text='BMI output'.Text,'Price Per Area_Column2')),"$0")
If it's dropdowns, use .Selected, datepickers are .SelectedDate, ect.

Hope this helps!

Oh I see now. If DataTable1 is the gallery, try using DataTable1.AllItems.
Something like this:
IfError( LookUp( DataTable1.AllItems, 'BMI Range_Column2'.Text='BMI output'.Text, 'Price Per Area_Column2' ), "$0" )

Oddly enough, the AllItems is not a recognized function. I scrolled through all the options and I don't even see "items" as an option.

I also tried to choose price per area_1 as pictured below, and still couldn't fix it.

Yet again, that's my bad 😥, I didn't connect the dots that it was a data table, and not a gallery or other datasource. It looks like you're correct, I don't think you can reference values within a datatable like this.
However, if all you need is the value, you could replace "DataTable1" with the datasource for the table, and replace the column names with the values that make that column.
It might take a bit of playing with, but it should be able to work.

thanks! I ended up using the below formula and it worked for me

LookUp('Price Per Area_1',ThisRecord.'BMI Range'='BMI output'.Text,ThisRecord.'Price Per Area')
